Apoptosis chemokine; induced by microbial infections is implicated in the pathogenesis of H. pylori infection. FLIP; Enhanced gastric epithelial cell apoptosis during H. pylori infection was suggested to play Helicobacter pylori; an important role in the pathogenesis of chronic gastritis and gastric pathology. In addition TRAIL to directly triggering apoptosis, H. pylori induces sensitivity to tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)-mediated apoptosis in gastric epithelial cells. Human gastric epithelial cells sensitized to H. pylori confer susceptibility to TRAIL-mediated apoptosis via modulation of death-receptor signaling. The induction of TRAIL sensitivity by H. pylori is dependent upon the activation of caspase-8 and its downstream pathway. H. pylori induces caspase-8 activation via enhanced assembly of the TRAIL death-inducing signaling complex through downregulation of cellular FLICE-inhibitory protein. Moreover, H. pylori infection in- duces infiltration of T lymphocytes and triggers inflammation to augment apoptosis. In H. py- lori infection, significant increases in CCR6þ CD3þ T cell infiltration in the gastric mucosa was observed, and the CCR6 ligand, CCL20 chemokine, was selectively expressed in inflamed gastric tissues. These mechanisms initiate chemokine-mediated T lymphocyte trafficking into inflamed epithelium and induce mucosal injury during Helicobacter infection. This article will review recent findings on the interactions of H. pylori with host-epithelial signaling pathways and events involved in the initiation of gastric pathology, including gastric inflammation and mucosal damage. * Corresponding author.
